Zhang Zhaoda, the designer who's won the China Fashion Award China Fashion Designer Top Award twice, launched a special collection made exclusively for this fashion week.

He studied Chu culture, the historical background of Hubei province, where the event has been held, to better deliver his understanding of the sprit of the location.

Cultural symbols and characteristic traditional crafts, including Chu embroidery, a kind of brocade called Western Rancap, and bronze patterns appeared on his designs.
